INHALING' APPARATUS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 369,247 dated August 30. 1887.

Application filed May 26, 1887. Serial No. 239,467. (No model.) Patented in France August 2, 185-, So. 177,126, and in England December 28, 1886, No. 16,960.

28, 1886, and a French patent, No. 177,726,v

dated August 2, 1886,) of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to the introduction directly into the respiratory organs of air constantly purified and absolutely freed from corpuscles of any kind which may be floating in the atmosphere. This purified air is also ozonizxd. and impregnated with chemical products, according to the case in course of treatment or the various complaints which it is necessary to grapple with.

The apparatus not only furnishes constantly purified, ozonized, and medicated air, but it continually drives out the matters resulting from pulmonary exhalation, as also any miasma which may be in the room.

The object of my apparatus is to forward the revivification of the blood in the lungs. It is specially intended for the treatment of those diseases which so often undermine the functions of the respiratory organs and bring on premature death. Its importance in the treatment of diseases caused by poorness of the blood and debility of the nervous system will be easily understood.

Ishall now proceed to explain my inveu-' tion, referring at the same time to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

Figure 1 is a plan view, and Fig. 2 a sectional view, of the apparatus.

The air coming from the outside enters an apparatus, A, containing cotton wool placed on a grating. This cotton wool is intended to collect any impurities which may be floating in the air. This apparatus A may also be furnished with a 'deodorizer, if required. This air is drawn into the apparatus by suction, by means of a special ventilator, B, closed against any other gas. The ventilator B, as also the motor which works it, is placed in the basement of the building. The air drawn in is compressed at O G into an ascending tube, 'which conducts it into the bell-cover D. In theinterior oi the boil-cover D there is an electrical apparatus intended to ozonize the passing air by the opera-tion of an electrio battery, E, and an induction-coil, F, placed under the table on which the inhaling apparatus is situated. The air, after having passed through the ozonizer contained under the bell-cover D, flows into a large central bell-cover, G, and is there accumulated for distribution. Bent glass tubes lead from the bell-cover G to jars containing medicines and conduct the air from the hell-cover to said jars, and from said jars the air is conducted into the inhalers, as shown in plan in Fig. 1 and in section in Fig. 2. Valves H are provided in the bent tubes at the periphery of the bell-cover for the purpose of opening and cutting off the supply of air when desired.

By opening one or more valves H communication is established between the ozonized air and the suitable medicines. The ozonized air, medicated or. otherwise, may therefore pass into the channel J, from whence it goes into one of the'globcs K, containing a heating apparatus for keeping the air at a temperature'suited to the case of the patient, and which maybe regulated as required.

The inhalers I terminate in movable pieces with rotular tubes or universal joints, allowing of their free movement in any direction.

.Each of these inhalers is in communication with twelve jars containing medicines-viz., forty-eight jars for the four inhalers-which, by opening or closing the valves II, may be connected or shut off. The gases exhaled. by the patients are drawn off by a second ventilator worked by the same motor. This second ventilator, being exactly behind the one shown, is not seen in the drawings. These gases are drawn off through the eccentric tubing L, placed beneath the flooring and litti'ug into the tube 0.
